NightCry Director Wants to Bring the Game to PC

NightCry, the spiritual successor to Clock Tower, could get a PC port.

In an interview with Polygon, NightCry director Hifumi Kono revealed that the game would need a Kickstarter campaign to make PC a viable option, but that PC is the version he most wants to make.

It's the version fans of Kono want most as well, according to the man himself.

"The fans' reaction was basically, 'Yeah, we've been waiting for this. Great. But is this only for Vita or only for mobile?'" Kono told Polygon. "There were a lot of disappointed voices."

NightCry was announced first for PlayStation Vita and mobile devices, platforms that some fans find unfit for a modern survival horror experience from the creator of Clock Tower.

This is a concern Kono has as well.

"Early on, I was concerned about playing a horror game on a smaller screen," Kono told Polygon. "Maybe a tablet would be different, but still it's not a big screen. So yeah, I always wanted to bring it to the bigger screen."

According to Kono, mobile platforms were chosen mostly due to budget constraints.

If the planned Kickstarter is a success, NightCry on the PC could be a reality – if not, PS Vita and iOS/Android versions are still on the way.
